Non-surgical or bloodless blepharoplasty
The eyes are the central feature of the face, and skin laxity of the upper and lower eyelids gives the face a tired and sad appearance.
Until now, this eyelid laxity was treated only with surgical blepharoplasty, which removes excess skin and under-eye bags. However, many patients have mild laxity that does not require surgery or do not wish to undergo a surgical procedure—due to fear, inability to take time off work, financial reasons, or other concerns. Non-surgical blepharoplasty is an innovative method that helps shrink the skin of the upper and lower eyelids, effectively reducing laxity.
How does it work?
Non-surgical or bloodless blepharoplasty uses a Plasma device that, through a small electrical arc, causes sublimation of the superficial layer of the skin without affecting the deeper layers. In this way, skin tightening is achieved without heat transfer to the surrounding tissues.
Which areas can be treated?
The treatment can be applied to the upper and lower eyelids, as well as to wrinkles in the “crow’s feet” area. In addition to the eyelids, it can also be used to treat age spots on the hands and face.
How is the treatment performed?
The treatment is performed using a topical anesthetic cream, lasts about 30 minutes, and is practically painless. Using the plasma device, the superficial skin layer of the targeted area is gradually sublimated in microscopic dots, without bleeding and without affecting the deeper tissues.
What should I expect after the treatment?
Results depend on the degree of laxity and overall skin quality. The treatment creates small brown dots or, if the treated area is larger, a generalized appearance similar to a mild burn. Immediately after treatment, mild stinging may occur and subsides within a few hours. The area takes on a soft brown-red color and mild swelling appears. A special soothing ointment is then applied. During the recovery period, a special regenerative cream is used several times a day until full healing. Mild swelling usually subsides within 2–3 days, while the brown dots typically disappear after 5–7 days. Results are immediate and can last for many years.
What should I pay attention to after the treatment?
After treatment, small brown or black crusts (scabs) form. These will fall off over the following days and the area will heal completely. It is important not to pick at the crusts to avoid infection and scarring. Keep the area clean and follow the instructions provided to prevent infection. Medicinal make-up may be used, and sun exposure should be avoided for 2–3 weeks.
How many sessions are needed?
To achieve the desired result, and depending on the severity of the concern, 2–3 sessions are usually required at intervals of 6 weeks.
